The slipcovers are not the best looking, but I have two 85 lb., 1 1/2 year old big fur babies and this has been a life saver. They love to play fight on the couch and the cover doesn't fall off (even when they have managed to tip the whole couch over on the floor). The chair slip cover is easier to keep looking nice. The dove gray is more of a butter yellow with gray strips than tan color. If you take the time to carefully tuck everything in, then it looks much better. I have giving up trying to make it look like the photo. For me it is about protecting the leather couch/chair! When I have company the covers comes off. If I didn't have a crazy golden and lab then I would get something nicer! Also this is not in my living room, it's in my family room.
